KINGSTON, N.Y. -- A Kingston man has been charged in a Wednesday evening hit-and-run accident in the town of Rosendale that left one person injured.

Gerald Williams, 29, of 317 Broadway, Kingston, was found by authorities in the city of Kingston a short time after the accident and was charged by Ulster County sheriff's deputies with leaving the scene of a personal injury automobile accident and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both misdemeanors.

Authorities said Williams failed to yield the right of way at stop sign on Dewitt Mills Road and collided with a car operated by Darlene Karpel, 56, of Red Hook, who was traveling north on state Route 32. The collision caused Karpel's vehicle to roll over into a ditch on the shoulder of Route 32. Williams fled the scene of the accident, deputies said.

Authorities said Karpel was taken to HealthAlliance Hospital, Broadway campus, for treatment of a possible leg injury.
